Priyadarsini S Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 Hi, Double-clicking on a *.vipc file in a computer, which has VIPM 2013 (build 1878) installed, is opening the LabVIEW Tools Network window and not the main VI Package Manager window. Even if I navigate to the main window from the Tools window, nothing happens. What might be the issue? Thanks, Priyadarsini S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashish Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Priyadarsini, We have never experience this before. So, what happens when you double click VIPM shortcut on the PC? Does it open VIPM or LVTN? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priyadarsini S Posted May 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Hi Ashish, VIPM icon correctly launches the main screen and not LVTN. One more thing I noticed is the VIPC icon next to the file. It is not how it is in other computers. Attached are the 2 icons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashish Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 I tried to recreate the behavior and I think I know the issue. On this specific PC, the VIPC file are associated with LVTN and not "VIPM File Handler.exe". Hence, trying to open VIPC launches LVTN. Try this: - Right click VIPC File - Go to Properties - Click "Change" - Click on "Browse" button at the bottom right corner - Go to: C:\Program Files\JKI\VI Package Manager\support and select "VIPM File Handler.exe" - Click "Open" - Click "OK" - Click "OK" on the Properties dialog to apply and close the dialog Now try to double click on VIPM file and check to make sure it opens correctly.

Priyadarsini S Posted May 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Ashish, The vipc is now associated with a program VIPMHelper.exe and it is recognized as a VI Package Configuration. I am not able to locate that VIPMHelper.exe though. Also right-clicking on the file shows Apply Configuration menu. If I change its association to VIPM File Handler.exe, then its type is not recognized & there is no info on VIPM in its right-click menu. Hence its association with VIPM is lost. But still I changed it to VIPM File Handler & double-clicking it launches the main screen & stays there. It does not proceed to installation.

Ashish Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Priyadarshini, I will recommend you to reinstall VIPM and see if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priyadarsini S Posted May 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Ashish, I started working on this lab computer recently & there are some packages installed previously. So I was not sure why VIPM stopped working suddenly. But now after re-installing it, it works. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
